🥰🌈❤️Likewise, I have always been passionate about equal access to pelvic PT for ALL PEOPLE, ALL GENDERS, ALL AGES.

When I first started out as a PT more than 2 decades ago - pelvic health was just starting to be a “thing.” My first class was incontinence treatment for women. That was over 20 years ago now! Other gender pelvic health wasn’t even on the radar, sadly. BUT I’m so stoked to see my own practice grow and flourish over the years. At EudeMOMia I see and treat all genders & all people.
.
🌟Why?? Because…
➡️Everyone has a pelvis
➡️Everyone has a pelvic floor
➡️Everyone urinates and defecates
➡️Everyone should be able to have pain-free sex (if they want to)
➡️Everyone should be able to sit, walk, and move without dealing with pelvic or genital pain
.
🌟And the reality is that while pelvic floor rehabilitation is growing (and it’s growing— hundreds of clinicians are joining this specialty every month!!), there are still so many populations who are underserved by our profession! This can mean clinics simply turning these people away, or perhaps seeing them, but not having the training to do so effectively, with knowledge, in an affirming and compassionate way. These populations include:
➡️Members of the LQBTQIA Community
➡️Men
➡️Children
➡️BIPOC Individuals
➡️People with complex pelvic pain conditions
➡️People with complex bladder and bowel dysfunction
… and many other populations!
.
🌟🥰So— for my colleagues out there, if you aren’t seeing ALL people, dig deep, figure out why, and reflect on how you can educate and build yourself up to reach more people and better serve others! If you are a person who has struggled to find skilled, compassionate, affirming care— send me a DM!!❤️🌈🎉💕

Remember when time seemed slower as a kid? “In all studies,” the scientists wrote, “we found that… people remember duration as being shorter on a routine activity than on a non-routine activity.”⁠
⁠
I'll be reclaiming the awe and wonder of childhood this upcoming weekend by going camping! Off the grid, no phones, no social media, no household management or weekend-long laundry routines - just time with family. ⁠
⁠
What will you do? ⁠

Throwback thursday to my first baby, and my first yoga postpartum yoga shoot circa 2006. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Swipe left to see the whole story 🤣 He had a clear message for mama! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
💕Mama-baby mindfulness makes for some real #yoga practice. It's one thing to practice yoga - it's another to do it with kids. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
PLUS⁠⁠
⁠⁠
💪I had to take my postpartum recovery in spurts - a little bit of yoga each day, what I call "yoga snacks," lol - because there's no way you are running 2 small businesses without maternity leave without some serious, hardcore time management skills and a hefty amount of patience and grit. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
☝️Being a #mompreneur is not easy - but today I have 2 successful small businesses and am proud of being able to persevere as each kid came (3 boys in all that are 15, 13, and 10 next week!). ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
🙌 I survived, and now that they are teenagers, I am *still* doing my best to thrive while juggling a big family and being an #doctor #physicaltherapist #educator #teacher #author #entrepreneur #integrativemedicine #lifestylemedicine #lifestylecoach #entrepreneur ⁠⁠

The last line reminds me: Struggle makes me strong

The last line reminds me: Struggle makes me stronger. ⁠
⁠
Why do we so often forget that in the middle of the struggle? Yesterday I was reminded of it because - ⁠
⁠
Yesterday, I had to sing for the funeral of a family member. ⁠
⁠
Y'all that never gets easier. Ever. It puts a rock in my stomach, a frog in my throat, and makes my mouth dry. All the things that destroy your voice. ⁠
⁠
But this morning, I feel stronger because I said YES to singing. I said YES to being of service to others. I said YES when it was hard to. ⁠
⁠
I practiced. It wasn't great. My voice is out of shape from COVID and 2 surgeries. ⁠
⁠
So I prayed. And I asked for support of my FB friends and family to remind me that I CAN DO HARD THINGS (like @glennondoyle teaches us). ⁠
⁠
I didn't think I could get through it. ⁠
⁠
🎶 I sang How Great Thou Art One at the service and Amazing Grace at the graveside (videos on FB @gingergarner if you want to listen). ⁠
⁠
But I did it, with help from the village, because: ⁠
⁠
✅ Reaching out to my family and friends and asking for their prayers and support - was hard. It's not easy to ask for help. But it made all the difference in the world.⁠
⁠
✅ Believing I could - made all the difference in the world. ⁠
⁠
✅ Shifting my mindset (just because you do it once successfully doesn't mean you've conquered self-doubt) to tell myself that God gave me this voice - and I'll use it for others, even when my fear tries to make me say no. ⁠
⁠
✅ Oftentimes we cannot do hard things on our own - yesterday it took a village (plus some Divine Intervention for strength). ⁠
⁠
✅ These are the things I teach my patients - who often have voice issues due to pelvic and respiratory diaphragm issues (read pelvic floor and breathing problems) that create all kinds of pain and problems. ⁠
⁠
Yesterday I got a gentle reminder - If I was ready for it, then it wouldn't be growth. ⁠
⁠
